My Space Bubble

Your child stretches arms out to feel their personal space and practices saying 'I need space, please.'

Category: Emotional Growth · Duration: ~6 min

1. Have your little one stretch their arms out wide and spin slowly. "This is your space bubble. This is yours." 2. Walk toward them slowly. When they want you to stop, they say, "I need space, please!" and hold up a hand. 3. You stop right away. "I respect your space." 4. Switch roles — you hold up your hand and they stop. Both ways matter. 5. Explain: "You can always say this — to friends, to kids at school, even to grown-ups. Your space is yours."
